INTER STATE COMMERCE.
WASHINGTON, July 12-The inter
state commerce commission has received
8 long complaint from Wilson L. Darby,
of ST. Thomas, d. T., which is supple
mentarY to those slready received from
other farmers OF that vicinity, alleging
the refusal on the part of the Manitoba
Railroad Company to furnish cars for the
shipment OF the wheat crop of that re-
gion. This, like previous comp laints
from the neighbOrhOod, assumes to SPEAK
for the entire community of farmers and
bears evidence of being the outcome
of general movement OF the
farmers for relief. It AYERS
that the local press is muzzled, that the
free pass system is in full operation as
before the passage OF the interstate law,
and that the prosperity of the community
hangs upon the intervention Of the COM
mission. Il is stated as the prevailing
belief OF the farmers thai the proprietor
of certain elevators, by collision with the
railroad authorities, has reached posi-
ton from which he controls the price OF
wheat, If not through the entire county,
certainly through the spring wheat belt Of
the northwest. The complainant narrateS
some past experiences, among them the
receipt OF an order from the railroad COM
pany to ship his wheat through these
particular Elevators, accompanied by the
intimatiOn thst if he did not wish to do
so ne could stop raising wheat. At one
time he says the farmers seized the GERS
they needed, despite the railroad people,
and loaded their wheat, which resulted IN
the adoption CT e plan by the railroad OF
keeping their empty cars at distance
from the wheat stations. A quorum OF
the commission are ct their desks to-day
and are ell expected to be present to-
morrow, when hearing will be given the
matter of complaint by the Orange couT-
ty milk producers against certain rad
roads, charging discrimination in rates.
